XR115

Rugged Performance for Hazardous Environments

The XR115 SMARTSafe™ Magnetic Encoder is engineered for hazardous duty applications, providing a 115mm modular solution that ensures consistent, high-performance operation in gas and dust environments.

With ATEX and UL approvals, its no-bearing construction offers superior reliability over traditional optical encoders, which often fail due to weak bearings. The XR115 can be used in applications such as paint booths, coil tubing rigs, and drilling operations, where vibrations, shock, liquids, dust, and dirt are common, offering continuous 24/7 operation.

For Level 2 applications (ATEX/IECEx Zone 2 or UL Class I, Division 2), the XR115 can be deployed directly without the need for barriers, isolators, or cable glands. For Level 1 applications (ATEX/IECEx Zone 1 or Class I, Division 1), the XRB1 or XRB2 isolators ensure safe usage with intrinsically safe wiring.

Unlike competitors, the SMARTSafe encoder systems are designed to withstand short circuits, wiring faults, and more, making the XR115 a durable and reliable choice for hazardous duty environments.

  • Fits IEC 115mm Motor Flanges
  • ATEX/IECEx Rated for Zone 1, 2, 21 & 22 Applications
  • Ideal for Oil and Gas Drilling
  • No Bearings to Wear Out
  • Fully Potted Electronics
  • Up to 5000 PPR
  • Wide Sensor-Rotor Gap: No Shimming or Scraping
  • Protected Against Wiring Errors
  • Self-Diagnostic LED and Alarm Output
  • 3 Year No-Hassle Warranty
